⁠Are Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh Rivals at the Box Office?

Among the current middle-aged generation of current male Bollywood stars, there are many names who are considered actors as great as or even better than the senior stars. However, doubts arise on whether they can be called superstars or not. In this generation, the only names that arise among huge stars are Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. Is the Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh rivalry genuine? Our analysis explains the case. 

Ranbir or Ranveer – Who is the Better Actor?

Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh are both actors of a high caliber, irrespective of how their movies perform compared to each other. Ever since their debut till now, they have acted in comic, romantic, highly intense, and dramatic roles, as well as action films.

In all these genres or themes, both the actors stand on an equal stage, with the only difference arising in comical roles. Ranbir Kapoor has been constantly great in portraying comical roles, whether it be a disaster like Besharam or a success like Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. Even in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, Ranbir Kapoor’s performance was one of the driving forces of the film.

As for Ranveer Singh, his version of comedy shows more of the character’s madness than his own effort. He did justice to the character of Simmba but fumbled a few years later in Cirkus, showing inconsistency in the genre. Hence, a point goes to Ranbir here.

Animal vs Dhurandhar – The Debate Over Stardom

To measure one’s stardom, a simple method followed by the trade is to check the opening day and weekend collection of a star’s recent movie, which in this case is Animal for Ranbir and Dhurandhar for Ranveer, both of them being remarkable blockbusters.

As for the Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh box office comparison, it is a very well-known fact that Animal’s opening day and opening weekend, in India as well as overseas, were miles ahead of that of Dhurandhar. This was despite the Ranveer Singh film being supported by massive inorganic bookings.

However, Dhurandhar took over the box office race in the long run due to its word-of-mouth after its weekend that spread heavily and was driven by various merits of the movie, beating Animal’s India as well as overseas lifetime box office collection. As for Animal, its initial days were boosted due to director Sandeep Reddy Vanga being one of the biggest brands of the core Hindi belt masses as well as the Telugu market.

Hence, in the Ranbir Kapoor vs Ranveer Singh big box office comparison, Ranbir Kapoor gets another upper hand as the man with the bigger stardom.

Conclusion

As for the overall Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh rivalry, the two are the perfect rivals of each other, even though Ranbir succeeds over his competitor in the present, and Ranveer has to prove himself with bigger openings than what he has now, as a blockbuster lifetime performance achieved by the film’s own merits cannot be attributed solely to Ranveer.

However, with Animal and Dhurandhar’s blockbuster results, both Singh and Kapoor are at a very similar stage. Hence, to know which one out of the two would come out on top, we must wait and watch the performance and ground-level buzz of a few upcoming standalone films of both the giants. But, at the current stage, Ranbir Kapoor stands with a superior edge over Ranveer Singh.
